UN: no danger from stolen nuke material in Iraq

VIENNA (AP) — The U.N.'s nuclear agency says atomic material has been taken from a university in Iraq in a region controlled by Islamic militants but it does not present a health, safety or proliferation risk.

The International Atomic Energy Agency describes the material as "low-grade" and says its removal from Mosul University does not translate into a "significant" danger of any kind.

The agency says it was notified by Iraqi officials of the seizure of the unspecified material and is seeking further details.
